if you came to the job interview with an iced coffee I’d assume 1 of 2 things: 1) got here a little early and felt weird about loitering in the lobby so you went to get a coffee to kill time 2) you have a second straw in your pocket and you want us to split the iced coffee lady and the tramp style

really expected the cultural permeation of the cheesy blasters song from 30 rock to be more significant than it actually is. wish I’d known that before I started singing it in this zoom meeting

I think it’s healthy for kids to spend a little bit of time playing outside. unless they ding dong ditch my house, in which case I implore you to buy them an iPad

No matter how cringe I am, I will never be as embarrassing as a filthy rich celebrity willingly doing draftkings ads

somebody is 2

this bitch won’t stop staring at me. what’s her problem

there’s a pretty famous experiment that already did this but I can’t remember what it’s called

Netflix has announced a new reality series titled ‘THE NEW STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT’. The series follows 30 participants who enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. They must see if they conform to the roles or if morality wins.

I wrote about AI, our relationship to pain and to comfort, and about why writing should hurt johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/writing-sh...

how would *i* keep the media talking about my extremely expensive product that is beginning to indicate that the use cases were exaggerated and it will never actually be profitable? well,

so uhhh what are we doing here exactly

call me when it’s a bassoon of time. Or like a French horn of time. I’ll buy the game again when you give the little boy a massive holy tuba of time

Ok. I have had enough. If you are making a video with a lav, CLIP THAT MF TO YOUR DAMN SHIRT. CLIP IT. STOP HOLDING IT. CLIP. IT. IT’S MADE TO BE CLIPPED

“It’s 3am on a Saturday why are you posting about work” well I didn’t KNOW it was 3am because I USED THESE SKILLS to CRACK INTO MY OWN PERSONAL WRITING PROJECT and GOT INTO FLOW STATE and the last time I LOOKED AT A CLOCK it was 11:30 OKAY

One writing skill I really underrated before I got really good at it at my job is the ability to get into a character’s head quickly. Being able to snap into a character voice expediently has basically defanged writer’s block for me entirely

(scrolls social media) (sees The Reaction) (LAUGHS EVILLY)

a remarkably effective life hack: just be nice to people it's incredible how much goodwill people will extend to you if you're pleasant to them

when people are mean to me online I assume it’s bc they fell into a vat of clown acid (like the jorker)

lotta AI at fanexpo this year. Personally I prefer handcrafted and artisanal anime waifu body pillows

(Waiting in line for a theme park ride called THE ULTIMATE HUMILIATION RITUAL) god I sure hope they don’t humiliate me in there,

Our original date plans got rained out so bf and I are making stan photocard keychains. Guess which one is his

most americans are probably not tracking this story, but fyi the cultural temperature up here around this issue is still best described as “seething” and “intense”

BREAKING: The U.S. is imposing 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian products after last-ditch negotiations failed. Canada promises to match the tax.

if a single deleted tweet qualifies as a message of support, I have issued dozens of messages of support for the misspelling of the word “restauraunt”

JK Rowling issues surprising message of support for trans adults www.lgbtqnation.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

of all of the people Gilda has ever met, literally 0% of them have correctly gotten the origin of her name. Everyone goes “like the good witch!” And I go “yeah 🙂” like a coward instead of changing their lives forever with a 20-minute unsolicited monologue about the history of sketch comedy

I feel like true allies should waterboard dobby if a trans person asks them to

(stripping the copper wire from C3PO’s corpse so I can afford another month of rent in supercapitalist AI hell) sorry can you repeat the question

Zach Weinersmith@zachweinersmith.bsky.social · last mo.

If you're opposed to machine learning making outputs based on training on copyrighted art, are you opposed to ai in general doing it, or opposed to the current types of models doing it? That is, if you had C-3PO, would the same rule apply?

idk why everybody’s upset about Katseye’s Hootie Frutti. your 20s are the perfect time to put on gold hot pants, twerk, and repeat some inscrutable nonsense 💖
